Engineer Needs Help

System · April 2012

I have been looking in a lot of places for a Eng./Oddy set up, and cant find anything on it or its for a Eng/Escort. I would like to try and tank PvE for the most part . Could someone please help me out with a good build and ship Tac or Sci Oddy?

So here's a handy TOC... at the back end of the thread naturally.

Here is a TOC from one of the posts in that thread.

PvE Tank:

Lt Tac: TacTeam 1, FAW 2
Cmdr Eng: EngTeam 1, EPtS 2, EPtS 3, Aux to SIF 3
LtC Uni (Sci): HE 1, TSS 2, TSS 3
Lt Sci: Polarize Hull 1, TBR 1
Ens Uni (Tac): FAW 1

Here's what I've found to work pretty well:
*DISCLAIMER*: YMMV. Also, I am always trying out new builds.

Lt Tac - FAW 1, APD 1
Ens Uni - Tac Team 1 (Maybe torp spread when running missions with my tac teammate)
Cdr Eng - Eng 1, RSP 1, EP2S3, RSP3
LCd Uni - Eng 1, Aux2SIF 1, EP2S3
Lt Sci - Sci Team 1, HE 2

FAW works nicely in generating threat (particularly for taking the alpha) with my 6 points in starship threat control. And with everyone and their brother targeting you, delta is handy.
Tac, Eng, Sci teams and HE (beyond their regular utility) are great for clearing debuffs.
I could really probably do without dual RSP's, but hey... in a sticky situation, I like having both around.
I keep a ton of Aux batteries around too. I use them A LOT.
I like Aux2SIF more than eng team (fast recharge AND dmg resist), so that's why I stashed them both in the ens slots. Just my opinion.

Also, the subspace field modulator (from "Skirmish") can be very handy. Well, as long as you're not tanking devidians.

Anyhoo, hope that helps, and good luck!
